As the conclusion, the university students nowadays prefer to improve their vocabulary skill through smartphones rather than other devices especially in this era. This because through the smartphones they can easily download application such as dictionary besides can work the vocxabulary lesson through offline or outside the class. At the same time, these can make students’ life more flexible to improve their vocabulary at anywhere and anytime they want it without sticking at one place to learn it. According to Sarmiento (2002), the excited students said mobile device helped them to learn math and science better. It is proven, as we can see, students get more interested to learn any subject through their mobile devices rather than going to class or get it from books. Therefore, we hope the government will allow the students to bring the mobile devices to schoolto give them opportunities to experiments and discover the mobile technologies. However, the school has to impose some rules so that the students will not misused the device in wrong way.

Firstly, the advantage of using smartphones in vocabulary skills among university students is students can download English language materials through their smartphones. These can be divided in two methods which is the first one is by downloading a dictionary which can help improving students’ vocabulary. According to Song and Fox (2008), in today’s technoly era, more students prefer to bring a downloaded handheld electronic dictionary or a mobile device rather than bringing along a thick dictionary to class or places of study. This true as we can see, many students use their smartphones to download dictionary to enrich their vocabulary for them to learn the pronounciation of unfimiliar words even it is outside of the class. Furthermore, it also provides opportunities for them to solve vocabulary problems during their lecture. For example, when the students look up for a new word or expression from hard copy...

...Smartphones; one of if not the most innovative personal devices within the past 10 years.
The rise of the smartphone
It's almost unthinkable how much mobile technology has transformed the way we receive information and communicate in this day and age. It was only in 1999 that Nokia announced the world's first phone dedicated towards media. The Nokia 7110, which was designed for media first off, and especially the internet. It might only have allowed a person to access text-based WAP internet pages, but it did so with large display ( for the time ) without being too bulky. Mobile based internet was still rather new, and the first BlackBerry only now released was basically just a glorified pagers with email capabilities. The user experience was simplistic, hard to use and rather expensive with data networks such as DataTAC and Mobitex offering expensive and slow connections of around 8Kbps. Over the next 10 years smartphones would change drastically, along with their user base and technologies they use.
What is a smartphone?
The phones from the 90's and early 2000's can hardly be considered smartphones anymore by today's standards. To be a smartphone you need to be able to do more than just make calls, receive emails, have a calendar, calculator and address book. Things that use to be the latest and greatest in technology and innovation.

...In your view, are smartphones a curse or a blessing?
Nowadays it seems that smartphones have been considered as an essential element for many people. In addition this sort of mobile phones have also been estimated as a problem. We can see it in the last news which suggest that many people can run the risk of their physical and mental health when they continue to use their smartphone, tablet or laptop out of work (Over-working leads to health problems, warns CSP. 2012). In this paper I intend to argue that, in my view, this instrument is not only a needed component but a great resource in our lives because it is part of the human evolution and its new digital era.
First of all, in my opinion, smartphones consist on a system of access to information or many services. Above all they are a social instrument because they are the channel through people socialize. “Smartphones have all the capabilities of a small laptop, plus a much higher degree of ability to interact with their environment. They have cameras, GPS, kinesthetic sensors, and Bluetooth capability. With their high degree of ability to interact with their physical surroundings” (Smartphones: Lifesavers Since 2012. 2012). Therefore I think smartphones are a resource to aid people to consort with. Nevertheless, it could be argued that people are not learning how to interact in real life (as an opposite of virtual...

...﻿There is no doubt that in the era of globalization, smartphones have become one of the most popular technology devices of our lives and have changed the way we communicate. However, after watching a YouTube video called “I Forgot My Phone”, Nick Bilton, an editor for the New York Times, states that “life is just better led when it is lived rather than viewed [on smartphones].” I agree with Bilton that when we put away our phones and try to live in the present for a while, we will feel more connected to the world. Moreover, spending more time on phones will not improve our relationships with others, but make people socially isolated.
In the article “Disruptions: More Connected, Yet More Alone,” Bilton provides some scenarios in the video about our smartphone-obsessed culture, and quotes the perspectives from Charlene deGuzman, the leading actress in this video, to support his claim that smartphone addiction prevents people from living in the moment. In other words, these heavy cell phone users unintentionally seclude themselves from the world. Bilton describes some ways the public has dealt with this problem of heavy cell phone use: prohibiting people from using phones in a concert, and forbidding photography in some New York restaurants.
Experiencing life is about enjoying the moments, not playing with the phones in our hands; nevertheless, some people, especially the cohort of young adults, are doing just the...

In this century, as a technology and scientific advance era, we change the way we communicate, we change the way to run our errands, and we change our way to get involved in social life. We make things going faster and we do things more efficiently. In general, technology brings us to a digital world. However, technology also brings us a huge problem of crime and misconduct.
Recently, a heat topic is being talked all over the world which is I-phone. Almost all my friends are holding a I-phone and they are addicted to the fantastic function of I-phone. They seems they knew the phone pretty much but indeed, they don’t. There is no doubt that they are all good at using the function of I- phone but they are terrible of preventing the risk from those kinds of phone. In fact, smartphone like I- phone is decreasing the security of society. There are so many crimes related to smartphone, such as hidden cam and cyber crimes. Moreover, smartphone also let people have an easy way to get their works done which make them lack of thinking and ability. In order to make it clearly and help the people understand fully about...

...﻿Smartphone? Snare one!
Smartphones, does it make us more smart? A smartphone is a very advanced technology. It is also used every single day in our lives. They help and give us the information that we need such as any business-related matters, a 'toy' for a kid or a device that will give us entertainment. This may sound that it is a very good thing, but it is unfortunately not. Therefore, I will precisely explain the reasons why I am againstSmartphones.
Smartphones are great when using for communication purposes but it is making us less smart as most of the people use it more often than we are supposed to. People have become less socially interactive due to their dependence and obssession in Smartphones. For instance, there are people that would constantly check their Smartphone while walking or doing other activities such as hanging out with their friends or having a date. This shows that people are not aware of their surroundings as they are always busy doing something on their Smartphone. This leads to lack of social interaction and may cause the person to not get used to talking to other people in person. Therefore, people should converse with other people, not with the Smartphones. Smartphones are becoming an extension of the human brain. People are being dependent to the Smartphones by using it as a GPS in order...
